Two SIGNIFICANT SERMONS.
Continued from first page.

| to say fool in the pulpit Why |
| answered. that's the given name of half
| my crowd. l couldn't get along without
it" Next to The biggest fool that Gods
eyes ever looked at is the woman that will
stir toddies for her husband. but the biggest
| fool that God ever saw is the woman that
| will marry man with whisky on his
| breath"
Mr.. Jones Is bitter foe to liquor. He
has the strongest convictions on this sub
| ject. and thank God that he is not afraid
te express them. Hear what he says about
his own boy ''If my eight-year-old boy,
| Paul, goes to liquor dealer and asks for a
drink. and that liquor dealer takes him out
in the back yard and chops his head off
he will do me a service, because the
boys soul will 90 right to heaven.
| Ii he gives him the liquor
the lads body and soul will go TO hell"
/ Nothing but an infcrna! scOundrel will
sell liquor, and no one but an internal fool
will drink it. Whisky is good thing in
its place.
| ITS PLACE Is IN HE'LL.
". Upon the all-important subject of
conversion. Mr.. Jones's utterances are very
practical. IF conversion means anything
il means two things | am converted from
1
| find fellow that has Just quit wrong and
has not taken hold of the right, and he
will fall back" What mean by religion
is Quit your meannesS and go to doing
| right. The whole secret is Fear God and
keep His commandments ''IOu might
make me believe was not in this city to-
night, but you could never make me belev
there is no power in Jesus Christ"
This brings us naturally TO consider his
| teachings as 10 the way of salvation.
when the soul gets to the point where it
will have nothing but Christ. then Christ
makes it his one duty to 90 int that soul.
But so long as anything else will satisfy.
Christ will not come into YOU" Some
people pray for faith as though il were
| something really like a hat-rack or bed
stead-something you can take hold of and
say Il have got it Faith is something you
Just open the door and let il come in
There isn't an old sinner in this city
that has not been criticising members of
| the church ever since he was old enough TO
tell what church was. You let any mem
Der of the church do wrong and that old
sinner over there is the first to catch him
and to talk about him. am glad there is
| distinction. | am glad you old sinners
thave too much respect for a profesSed
Christian 10 iet hiin DO anything mean with
